Parks and open spaces were busy across the country as people enjoyed an unseasonably warm first Saturday of the second lockdown. 

Under new coronavirus rules in England people are only allowed to meet one other person from outside their household in public spaces.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden has dramatically announced plans to have a ‘bedrock science’ plan to get coronavirus under control by the time he takes office next January.

Speaking for the first time as President-elect on Saturday night, Biden said: ‘Our work begins with getting Covid under control. We cannot repair the economy, restore our vitality, or relish or life’s most precious moments- hugging our grandchildren, children, until we get it under control.
